It's Dancing Day!
Although technically a Christmas Carol, I play this song year round on a CD by the Kiev Symphony. The lyrics remind me of the delight the Son takes in the Father, and, reciprocally, with the Holy Spirit. Then I delight in the communion we will experience witht the Trinity during divine worship on the Lord's Day.
So, enjoy as you prepare for worship!
Tomorrow shall be my dancing day:
I would my true love did so chance
To see the legend of my play,
Refrain:
To call my true love to my dance:
Sing O my love, O my love, my love, my love;
This have I done for my true love.
Then was I born of a virgin pure,
Of her I took fleshly substance;
Thus was I knit to man's nature,
Refrain
In a manger layed and wrapped I was,
So very poor this was my chance,
Betwixt an ox and a silly poor ass,
Refrain
Then afterwards baptized I was;
The Holy Ghost on me did glance,
My Father's voice heard from above,
To call my true love to my dance:
Sing O my love, O my love, my love, my love;
This have I done for my true love, for my true love.
